I installed my B & M shifter yesterday that I bought from bobby at foreign affair ($236 + $15 shipping) Very easy & enjoyable to install, I put the shift **** back on and pushed it down all the way and tightened the allen screw and drove my car about 30 miles around town.

Adjust your shift **** height for the best feel and I think you will be even happier with your B & M Shifter
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I installed my B & M shifter yesterday that I bought from bobby at foreign affair ($236 + $15 shipping) Very easy & enjoyable to install, I put the shift **** back on and pushed it down all the way and tightened the allen screw and drove my car about 30 miles around town. I noticed that the shifter **** sits much lower and the shifts are very percise and does require more effort to shift. It just occured to me today that if I raise the shift **** I will have more leverage when shifting. I raised the **** 2 inches (you can easly raise it 4 inches) and the **** sure looks perfect where it sits now and I just went for a drive and it feels great. It reduced the effort in shifting by 50% and it just clicks through the gears very easy. Its perfect now.
No Slop
Positve Engagment
Short Throw
Easy Effort
Right Height for Shift ****
and I love the click click feel, just like a Ferrari gated shifter
Adjust your shift **** height for the best feel and I think you will be even happier with your B & M Shifter

Funny how I got no response on this board. The plan is to film a third B&M install on a 996 this Sunday in San Jose. Jeff

I saw your post and true, I didn't respond to it.
Now if you were going to supply the pizza, the beer and the shift kit that would of been another story
It will be at Henry's house in Almaden Valley. Empty 3 car garage with parking for a dozen cars. The 'donor' 996 is a 1999 owned by Chad who lives in Modesto. Why he would drive all the way from Modesto to San Jose for a 1 hour (2 hours with the camera) shift install is beyond me as the beer will be warm when he arrives, but Loren found him and there were no other more local 996 owners who responded.

Hi Loren,
Sorry to bother you, but would you mind sending me a copy of the instructions for the short shifter install as well?
My email address is [email removed].
Thanks in advance!
Terence
10:00 we start filming. Hope you 996ers have good rear main seals so you do not leak oil on Henry's driveway. Jeff

Bob,
How much lower is "much lower"? Mine didn't seem noticeably lower. I didn't measure the new vs old shifter, but the distance from the bushing to the tip of the lever in Jeff's pictures does not look like 2". If you've raised your **** 2", doesn't that defeat the advantage of a short shifter? (At least you still get the better hardware!).
Hey Jeff, is the B&M any shorter? Could you measure a pair next time you are putting one in?
Patrick,
The B&M is the same height... I'm sure.
Jeff,
LOL... I think I've installed B&M's in all the other 996's in the aera!
If Chad's PSE arrives we will install that also. We will likely do a mod to Chad's air cleaner while we are at it.
Yes Patrick they are both the same height but on the B & M I raised the shifter handle 2 inches after pushing it down all the way. The throw is still much shorter than the stock shifter with the **** pushed down all the way. With my **** a little higher on the B & M it just felt better to me, less effort to push into gear but still a much shorter throw and very percise. I love how it clicks into gear.
bob
If you 996ers want us to take pictures on Sunday of some special applications let us know. I will even bring my ruler.
The last picture was a joke. There is no B&M in that car. Danny, a local Boxster owner, cut down the flat blade of the oem shift lever and put on an after market shift ****. Poor man's short shift. Jeff
I have to agree that the feel of the shifter is much better than stock!

I'm excited, I'm going to get my shifter installed on Sunday.

I tried one at an autocross last weekend and just had to have it
Thanks to Jeff (Tool Pants) Henry, Aileen and Loren for installing my B&M shifter. I was "snick, snicking" all the way home. Snickering too!, it's a lot of fun.
